I am being tested for numberous different things right now. One is "Hemochromatosis"
While looking on websites about it I found this about Shellfish
It is a bacteria " Vibrio vulnificus "
Sure sounded really bad and dangerous to get it. The raw shellfish can have this.
Just thought to share as I saw some other people talking about Shellfish also.

Yes, bad GI problems...more commonly known as the cause of cholera in the Gulf Coast region of the US. Not very common, though. Hepatitis A (from contaminated foods) was much more common where I grew up.

This is why you should not eat raw oysters, and all seafood should be thoroughly cooked (for non-allergic people, of course).

People used to only eat shellfish, especially clams and oysters, in months without an "r" (ie: June, July, August). With modern commerce, you can get anything year-round; but this practice is not necessarily safe-practice.

Daisy;
I never really think of shellfish at all as I have always been anaphylatic to it.
I was also surprised to see it on" the site" I was to as something to be concerned about. For example swimming in the warm waters if you have a cut on your body.
This may matter for more than one reason for me, depends on my tests results.
Gee, it amazing when you know only to say away from something how little you actually know about it.
